I see the problem:
(II) RADEON(0): Port0:
  XRANDR name: DisplayPort-1
  Connector: DisplayPort
  DFP1: INTERNAL_UNIPHY
  DDC reg: 0x7e60
(II) RADEON(0): Port1:
  XRANDR name: DisplayPort-0
  Connector: DisplayPort
  DFP2: INTERNAL_UNIPHY
  DDC reg: 0x7e20

Both ports are attached to the same PHY, so they have to use separate
links.  I'm not sure that is properly implemented at the moment in the
driver.  I'll take a look later this week.  Can you send me a copy of
your video bios?
(as root):
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<pci bus id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /tmp/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom
